Bill Gates issues brutal response after Jeffrey Epstein claimed he ‘got STI from Russian girls’
Bill Gates has branded claims that he 'contracted a sexually transmitted disease' while still married to his former wife Melinda 'as absolutely absurd and completely false'.
In the latest batch of files on Jeffrey Epstein released by the US Department of Justice, unverified allegations about the Microsoft mogul were revealed.
More than three million documents were published on Friday (30 January), which included email exchanges between Epstein and Elon Musk, images of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and alleged conversations about young Russian women.
But one of the biggest bombshells came in emails that were drafted by Epstein in July 2013, which contain claims about Gates, 70, allegedly suffering from an STD.

It appears as though the disgraced financier, who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019, typed up the messages to the tech tycoon, but it is not clear if he ever sent them.
Both of the emails are sent from Epstein’s account and are delivered back to the same account. No email account associated with Gates is visible, and both emails are unsigned.
Epstein alludes to the fact that his friendship with the billionaire had run its course, accusing his former pal of choosing 'to both disregard and discard' it after six years.
In the message that begins with the words 'Dear Bill', he then accused Gates of pouring salt on the wound by asking him to 'please delete the emails' regarding his alleged STD.
It read: "To add insult to the injury you then subsequently with tears in your eyes, implore me to please delete the emails regarding your STD, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis."
Another email drafted by Epstein later that day claims that this was a 'consequence' of Gates having 'sex with Russian girls'.
In what appeared to be a resignation letter written on someone else's behalf to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Epstein made further damning allegations about Gates.
The second email stated: "I have been caught up in a severe marital dispute between Melinda and Bill...In my role as his right hand man I have been asked and wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate, to the ethically unsound and have been repeatedly asked to do things that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal.
"From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trysts, with married women, to being asked to provide Adderall for bridge tournaments, as I am a medical doctor, but have no prescriptions writing ability."
After the documents were released, a representative for Gates furiously denied the claims.
In a statement, his spokesperson told LADbible: "These claims - from a proven, disgruntled liar - are absolutely absurd and completely false.
"The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame."
LADbible has also contacted Melinda Gates' representatives for comment.
Gates previously described his friendship with Epstein as a 'huge mistake' and claimed it came to an end after he realised that promises about 'getting billions of philanthropy for global health' were not 'a real thing'.
The Microsoft founder had appeared in the previously released documents last year, though appearing in the files is not proof of any wrongdoing.
His ex-wife, Melinda, also said she 'did not like' her ex-husband meeting with the sex offender, adding that she 'made that clear' while they were married.
She said she met with Epstein ‘exactly one time’ to see who he was and that she found him ‘abhorrent’, stating: “I regretted it the second I walked in the door...He was evil personified.”
The couple finalised their divorce in 2021.
